Tasting Notes
Aroma
A tight drawn in bouquet on opening,
slowly dark chocolate, deep cassis, liquorice,
dried herbs, smoke, cedar, clove, mocha and
condensed plum jelly emerge.
Appearance
Deep impenetrable black.
Palate
The dense fruits are coating over the palate, it throw layers of fruit at you which are easy to visualise along your palate. This is deep, slow moving with a great persistence, this is unashamedly Barossa Shiraz. Very few places the world over can make a wine with such depth, persistence, inner energy and light weight, the tannins are uber silky and seem to have an ability to continue to caress the mouth. I find the quality of the tannins here to be quite magical and this wine will be admired and enjoyed over a number of generations.
Vinification
Shiraz is at the heart of the Two Hands story and our
vineyard selections give us access to some of the greatest
parcels of Shiraz grapes in the country. Each year, every
one of the 1,500 barrels of Shiraz is tasted in the search for
the very finest cuvée to represent Ares, the pinnacle of our
Shiraz production.
The handful of barrels that make it through are matured
for 20 months in new and one-year-old French oak, and
retasted again and again to ensure only the best make the
final blend. A statuesque, powerful and deeply flavoure
wine that combines elegance and vivacity.
Cellaring Potential
Predicting ageability is a bit
like throwing a dart at a dart board but here
I am very happy to predict a slow evolution,
a recent 2004 was still so primary, tight and
evolving at a snail’s pace.
Range Notes
Inspired by the myths of ancient Greece the Flagship
Series is headed by Ares, the bold, passionate and strong
God of War, a perfect fit for the pinnacle of the Two
Hands Collection.
